New Delhi: After the final phase of Bihar elections came to a close on Saturday, an aggregate of opinion polls slated a win for the opposition coalition led by Tejashwi Yadav.
According to the opinion polls, Mahagathbandhan (MGB) is set to win 124 seats while incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's National Democratic Alliance (NDA) falls short of the majority (122) with only 110 seats.
However, Time Now-C Voter gives 116 to the NDA and a slight lead for the opposition Mahagatbandhan at 120. It says Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) will win one seat.
Republic TV-Jan Ki Baat gave 118 to 138 seats to the opposition alliance and 91-117 seats to the ruling NDA. Chirag Paswan's party is likely to win five to eight seats, it says.
The Bihar results will be announced on Tuesday, November 10.
Any party or coalition needs 122 for a majority in the 243-seat Bihar assembly.
